This has no connection with reality. This is not an attestation mechanism, and can't be used as one.


Yes it absolutely is and will be used as such, this is EXACTLY how google play remote attestation works and a necessary building block for doing it in the browser. It is the exact reason why microsoft and google are pushing for tpms in windows 11 and it's already a reality on android and every grapheneos user knows the pain[0] and is the absolutely logical next step.

I read that not as a claim that this is an attestation mechanism, but that this is another step towards that. Given that Google has previously discussed implementing the Web Integrity API, it's not so large a leap as to be dismissed as disconnected from reality.


It's clearly a link in the chain.


Yes but the commenter has referred to you as a stock animal, therefore he automatically wins the debate. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
